When I found YT, it was because Huey wasn't acting right and I was trying to look up his symptoms while deciding if we needed to to the the vet when they opened. I ended up taking him right in that morning after calling them and telling them I was on my way. On the way to the vet, I was sure he was dying, but when we got there, miraculously he recovered and his symptoms went away. I got home late from work this morning due to a meeting. Hubby leaves for work around 0515 and I am usually home by 0730. It was almost 9 when I got home today, and he is doing it again. Shaking all over, unsteady on his feet, acting like he can't jump up on the sofa, wobbly to the point of leaning against the wall briefly while he tinkled outside. So, I turned on the heat becaue the house is 64 degrees. I wrapped him in a blanket & when he wouldn't eat his kibble for breakfast, I fed him some cheese in case he is hypoglycemic from shivering. Suprise, he jumped on the sofa for the cheese after a couple of false starts. He shivers when I am looking at him or holding him, but when I'm not looking, he is not shivering, just staring at the cheese on the table. He does not smell like vomit breath (yes, I smell his breath and I can always tell when he has a sour stomach). Last time he did this he acted puky and he was limp. This time be seems to be recovering more quickly. I'm thinking he was just cold, but he thought I would be home sooner and got out of the bed to assume the greeting position at the top of the stairs. Last time, which was around november, the vet said she could do blood work and ct scan, etc if I wanted because I thought he was acting neurological, but I could tell she was just placating me as Huey ran around the exam room sniffing the corners. Does anyone agree that he sounds like he was just cold and a little hypoglycemic this time? As I have been typing, he seems to have recovered and just jumped off the sofa to eat a carrot off the floor that I tried to give him before the cheese. He looks all perky now. I think he was puny and then milked it to get more cheese. Right now he is sitting on the floor looking at the cheese on the coffee table, and as I watched him, he gave a big, melodramatic shiver..I think my dog is a manipulator...
